Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the Extended Learning Resource Page for Ms. Jones. This page was created to support students and families during our virtual learning period this 2020-2021 school year. I will provide resources, links and other materials to support emotional, academic or life challenges students and families may encounter, much as I would in school.

Schools will be fully virtual for students and staff during Phase 1 (September 8th - October 5th). 

Additional Information and daily updates can be found on the district's COVID-19 Resource Page found at:
